You may find ( I did ) that prying off the lower 4 washers from the stock bushings difficult, if not impossible. However, a small amount of heat from a small torch around the center of the washer at the bolt hole pops the washers off very easily. Once off you'll see the washers have a small shoulder on them that lightly presses into the aluminum center of the stock cradle bushings/mounts. If I remember correctly the torque on the 4 cradle bolts is 140ft lbs. It's an easy job and the inserts are a great compromise in stiffness without an increase in noise, vibration and harshness from the rear suspension into the cabin.
